"Sugar"
Ray Robinson(Walker Smith Jr.)

"Sugar" Ray may have
been the greatest all-around boxer to ever step into the ring; Many
knowledgeable boxing people think so; He ranks among the top welterweights and
middleweights of all-time; He was lightning quick - on his feet and with his
hands; He hit hard, he had "savvy", he could move and he could take it; In a
"nutshell" - he had everything !!!

Ray fought 85 amateur bouts and 40 professional bouts before he lost for the
first time; He did not lose again until his 132nd professional fight; In all, he
reportedly had over 200 pro bouts and lost just 19 - many towards the end of his
career - when he was only "very good"

Herb Goldman ranked Robinson as the #1 All-Time Welterweight; Charley Rose
ranked him as the #2 All-Time Welterweight; Nat Fleischer rnkaed him as the #5
All-Time Middleweight; Ray was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in
1967, the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990 and the Georgia Sports Hall
of Fame in 2006
